The Master’s Hand – exhibition installation view

During the October 2017 General Conference, Elder Ronald A. Rasband gave a talk titled, “By Divine Design,” in which he explained: “Significant events unfold in the gospel and in the Church that further the kingdom of God on earth.”[1] He quoted Elder Neal A. Maxwell: “[God] does not do things by ‘coincidence’ but by divine design.”

The Lord can and will direct our paths to further His work on earth. For over 23 years, I had the opportunity to curate multiple and varied exhibitions at Brigham Young University Museum of Art. But the religious exhibitions were by far the most rewarding. Miracles occurred as we mounted these exhibitions that testified of Christ.
